Please help identify my Chinese Cash!

I've had these for years with no clue as to the monarch, dynasty, date, etc. Any help would be infinitely appreciated! Thanks!

    Thank you! I assume they are all fairly common, right?

    Numbers 1 and 2 should be rotated 90 degrees to the right in the first image.

    Thanks again. What is the standard reference for these and the denomination/dynasty of the two Chinese coins?

    I just sold several similar pieces on Ebay for $2 each. Bidding started at $0.01 and bidding was fearsome.
